Editorial report

Oppo A79 technical sheet

Oppo A79 suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with a large display, dual-SIM support, and expandable storage. Its main trade-offs are performance and camera capability: both stand worse than most phones of its time, while the screen and battery make for a more balanced everyday package.

The 6.72-inch IPS LCD display provides 2400 × 1080 px, 392 ppi, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. At 8 mm, the body is thinner than most phones of its time. A 5,000 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical figures. Stereo speakers, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, and broad 5G support add useful connectivity. The configuration shown has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, while Oppo A79 is also sold in an 8 GB / 256 GB version.

Performance stands worse than most: the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 reaches 391,000 points in AnTuTu v10. The camera also stands worse than most, with 50 MP and an f/1.8 aperture but no optical image stabilization. Its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than most phones of its time. With a NeoScore of 5.1, Oppo A79 is a balanced choice for everyday use and 5G connectivity, rather than a phone for demanding performance or advanced photography.
